This section describes the components of SuperSTAR that should be backed up as part of a normal backup process.

SuperSTAR Components

Component

Backup...

Default Installation Location

SuperSERVER

The SuperSERVER Program Data directory.

C:\ProgramData\STR

SuperSERVER

Any files such as DLLs that are co-located with the SuperSERVER executable. The need for any such files depends on your usage of plugins to the SuperSERVER APIs.

C:\Program Files\STR\SuperSERVER SA

SuperCHANNEL

Any JDBC drivers that you have installed.

C:\Program Files\STR\SuperCHANNEL\jar\drivers

Production System

All configuration files. These may be located on a server or on client machines, or partly on both depending on the installation and configuration requirements. Start with the file sa2ps.config.xml.

C:\ProgramData\STR\SuperSERVER SA

SuperCROSS

All configuration files (this includes all ini files and xml files). These may be located on a server or on client machines, or partly on both depending on the installation and configuration requirements.

C:\ProgramData\STR\SuperCROSS

SuperSTAR Databases

All sxv4 database files and any configuration files that are co-located with the sxv4.

Annotations Repository

The annotations repository for each sxv4 that has annotations defined.

The annotations SQLite database is co-located with the sxv4 it relates to; the filename uses the convention <databaseid>.sxv4.sqlite.db.

SuperSTAR Metadata Repository

Your metadata repository using the mechanism associated with the RDBMS where it is stored

SuperWEB2

  • The webapi directory.

  • The User Data Repository (if configured; stored in an RDBMS).

  • The Job Queue Manager database (if applicable).

  • Any JVM/Tomcat parameters (e.g. settings you have configured in setenv.bat).

  • The SuperWEB2 configuration settings from SuperADMIN. You can use the following command in SuperADMIN to export your current configuration settings to a text file:

    cfg save <filename> 
    


The webapps directory under the Tomcat installation, your selected RDBMS and SuperADMIN.

SuperVIEW

  • The SuperVIEW directories (check the SuperVIEW URLs to confirm the directory names).
